Main Areas of Practice

Insurance Practice:

For more than 85 years, domestic and foreign insurance companies have turned to Hinshaw for complete legal services. The firm’s advice and representation spans the full range of matters—including insurance coverage litigation and counseling, bad faith and class actions, reinsurance, corporate transactional, regulatory, insolvency insurance, and claims management—and it is well versed in the full panoply of commercial and personal lines of insurance. With a premier team of 130 diversified insurance lawyers—and working with our strategic partner law firm Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP (RPC)—the firm offers leading insurers breadth and depth that is second to none.

Professional Liability:

The contemporary practice of law often feels like a high-wire act performed without a net. With every step, lawyers—and other professionals—may be subject to claims by clients, potential claims by nonclients, disciplinary proceedings, and even criminal prosecution. The firm’s risk management professionals help lawyers, law firms, legal departments, and other professionals minimize and manage these risks. The firm’s job is to help its professional clients avoid pitfalls and get them back on course when discipline, litigation, or other setbacks are threatened or occur.

Consumer Financial Services:

The firm’s national consumer financial services group offers client-focused solutions in three core areas—mortgage servicing and lender litigation, consumer law and class action defense, and financial services regulatory and compliance counseling. Hinshaw provides strategic, practical advice on federal and state law compliance matters, as well as federal and state enforcement actions and supervisory examinations. The firm appreciates that what a lawyer calls a legal challenge is an operational hurdle for the client. With the need to adapt and pivot—and respect the financial and reputational stakes for the financial services industry—Hinshaw delivers exemplary advocacy tailored to the clients’ business needs.
